Board of Appeal & Equalization

Property Assessment Appeals

The County’s valuation and classification of a property can be appealed if the property owner does not agree with the assessment. Concerns must be related to the current year EMV for taxes payable for the following year. The Assessor’s Office cannot address an appeal of the EMV for the prior year at this time: an appeal of the prior year EMV can only be appealed through the Minnesota Tax Court and must be filed by April 30 of the year the taxes are due.

If you disagree with your estimated market value on your recent Valuation Notice you have the right to appeal.

To Begin the Appeal Process:

Collect facts to show your case by gathering recent sales of like properties and recent market analysis.
Contact the Assessor’s Office at 651-385-3040 – option 1.
Talk to a County Appraiser to review your information about your value or classification.
Schedule interior inspection.
If issue is not resolved:
- Call into your local Board of Appeal & Equalization meeting at the below phone number and access code.
- Make an appointment for the County Board of Appeal & Equalization meeting.
- Final option is to file in Minnesota Tax Court 651-539-3260.
